3. A solution of HClO 4 was standardized by dissolving 0.4008 g of primary-standard-grade

HgO in a solution of KBr:
2−¿+2 OH ¿

HgO ( s ) + 4 Br −¿+ H 2 O ⟶ HgBr 4 ¿

The liberated OH2 consumed 43.75 mL of the acid. Calculate the molar concentration of
the HClO 4.

Given:
 Molar Mass of HgO= 216.59 g/mol
  Moles of HgO= 0.00185 mol HgO
 0.4008 g primary-standard-grade Hgo in a solution of KBr
 Volume of HClO 4= 43.75 mL
 Balance equation:
HgO + 4Br− + H2O → HgBr42− + 2OH− 
OH− + HClO4 → ClO4− + H2O

5. A 0.4126-g sample of primary-standard Na2CO3 was treated with 40.00 mL of dilute
perchloric acid. The solution was boiled to remove CO2, following which the excess
HClO4 was back-titrated with 9.20 mL of dilute NaOH. In a separate experiment, it was
established that 26.93 mL of the HClO4 neutralized the NaOH in a 25.00-mL portion.
Calculate the molarities of the HClO4 and NaOH.

Given:
 Volume of HCl O4= 26.93 mL
 Volume of NaOH = 25.00 mL
 The volume of HCl O 4 needed to titrate 0.4126 g of Na2 CO 3:
